Encryption of Media Files #79

Open aimanabsi opened 3 years ago

aimanabsi commented 3 years ago

is there a way to encrypt and send media files like pdf,png via this lib?

seanieb commented 3 years ago

Not really. How it's normally done is you encrypt the file using a symmetric encryption method, upload the file to a storage service like s3. Then you send the key and the location of the file to the recipient via the signal library.

If you're just trying trying to send encrypted files I would recommend:
